Final Day With Hoya griffithii LT 08-026

I truly love this plant; with its apple-green colored flowers, strong perfume, great growth habits and ease of cultivation, it is a must have. I have to thank Julie once again for making it possible to give this one a try. This is a Hoya that I plan to have in my collection for a very long time. I give it my highest recommendation!

Below the flowers of the first Hoya griffithii IML -1856 that I received from David Liddle’s Nursery in Australia. I should also say that the leaves on this original griffithii were twice the size of the leaves on LT 08-026.

The Flowers of Hoya griffithii LT 08-026 Are Apple Green

I was blown away by the extremely fragrant apple-green colored flowers on Hoya griffithii LT 08-026. I was expecting yellow flowers so the green flowers were quite a surprise. I found out that these green flowers fade to yellow just before falling off.

Here are the freshly opened blooms:

Here are the flowers a couple of days before they start falling off:

Growing Hoya griffithii LT 08-026 Part One

I received Hoya griffithii LT 08-026 as a rooted cutting from my good friend Julie Kennedy from the UK in May of last year (2024). She in turn had received it a few years earlier from Torill Nyhuus from Sweden. I was very excited to grow what I thought was a yellow flowered clone of Hoya griffithii. The plant arrived in very good shape despite spending a long time in the post. I potted it up in a 7oz clear plastic cup using coconut husk as a substrate.
